Marcus Garvey shocked civil rights leaders by advocating for a separatist movement, promoting Black nationalism and the idea of establishing a separate nation for African Americans in Africa. His formation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and the idea of a "Back to Africa" movement were seen as radical at the time, diverging from the more integrationist approaches favored by contemporary leaders like W.E.B. Du Bois. This emphasis on self-reliance and racial pride, while empowering for many, alarmed those who believed in working within the existing political system for civil rights.
